I was told that I would be on Level 1 possibly near Aisle 35 for Saturday's match. I'll try to be there in time to see part of the VFL match.
I shall be wearing my Chicago Cubs World Series Champions cap and matching t-shirt(for the first time) for good luck. I'll also have on my 27 year old scarf with players badges on one side and as a special treat an "Impeach Trump" badge on the other side right above my "I HATE TIGERS" and "I HATE MAGPIES" badges. :D
Great choice Chicago1. Fairly close to me (L1 A33). Great atmosphere and great seats. Im planning to go early as well to watch our VFL side. You must now be really excited.

You don't happen to have a spare " impeach Trump" badge do you ???
Re: Membership 2017 - Target 50,000
Last night Gary Kent announced that we had 44,500 members.
We are a long way into the season so I wonder how many more will sign up?

Good and average news. Obviously we are up 4,000 new members, but I thought a 20% increase (48,000) was a minimum target after delivering a premiership and opening up Ballarat memberships. You'd have to think 50,000 is just out of reach. And you'd have to think what we have to bloody more to do to turn fans into members?

There's always a late surge where it seems like the wealthy club benefactors pitch in to pump the numbers up. Happens every year.

I wonder how many clubs have that and falsify the figures. We need real supporters.

I would say every club that doesn't have to cap numbers due to home stadium capacity (WC, Adelaide, Port, Freo & Geelong).
Re: Membership 2017 - Target 50,000
Remember the week that our former captain left and Macca got squeezed out. If you had told me then we would've won a flag and have nearly 45K members by now I would've responded with something probably best not to type.

Men in white coats would have entered the room with a straight jacket if you'd said that 3 years ago
